Question

In Rugby, why do France always play Scotland in white shirts?

Answer 1

Well, Its pretty easy. They both have blue jersies nd its difficult to play like that. so. At home u can wear your own jersey.

In scotland : Scotland blue- France White

In France: Scotland white- France blue:)

Answer 2

this is the home and away rule. last week Scotland were in white and Italy were in blue.

Answer 3

As the two countries have similair colour shirts.

In rugby it is the home team that change shirts when they play against another team with similair shirts.

As it was yesterday France were the home team & had to play in white.

Next year when they travel to play in Murrayfield then scotland will play in the white shirts.

Answer 4

Because a home side has to have a change of kit in case of colour clashes, why they chose white I have no idea.

Answer 5

because they both play in blue

Answer 6

No, they also wear shorts.

Answer 7

When the shirt are similar colors the home team will change to their "away" shirt as a courtesy to the traveling team.  Calling it an away shirt is a little confusing because it is not worn away!!

Answer 8

Reka is wrong..in rugby (unlike football) it is the home team that changes.

Huw.. my co-Cymro is spot on..give him the points.

Answer 9

they don't, they only play in white when in Scotland as otherwise the two shirts would clash as Scotland and France both play in blue. When they paly in France, then Scotland wouyld change shirt colour. It's just like Football, the two teams are not allowed to play in the same colours, which is why the clubs all have three different club strips.

Answer 10

because if they did not they would both be playing with the same colours numnut
